The people wanting to buy your house don't have the World's most powerful military and a penchant for abusing others with it. The store selling cookies or belts want to sell these things, as opposed to being coerced. If I buy your car at gunpoint, the money I leave you with doesn't make my actions legal or ethical.

> If I buy your car at gunpoint

That isn't buying it. It is stealing it.

Threatening to buy is an oxymoron.

Making you an offer you can't refuse.
That's taking something by force, not buying something.
